For the Love of Libraries Postcard Book Published

In cooperation with the Center for the Book in the
Library of Congress, Pomegranate Calendars & Books has
published a book of 30 postcards, For the Love of Libraries,
featuring photographs and anecdotes by Diane Asseo
Griliches. The introduction is by Center for the Book
Director John Y. Cole. The photographs, captions, and
quotations in For the Love of Libraries are from the
author's Library: The Drama Within, a book published by the
University of New Mexico Press in 1996 in association with
the Center for the Book.

Many of the photographs of libraries and their patrons
in For the Love of Libraries were exhibited at the Library
of Congress in 1997 and have been added to the Library's
collections.

For the Love of Libraries: A Postcard Book is available
in the Library of Congress Sales Shop and in bookstores
throughout the country. The price is $9.95.

The Center for the Book was established in 1977 to
stimulate public interest in books, reading, and libraries.
